Launched on Friday 13 October, the start of Heritage Week, the book focuses on people who have impacted on the
development of Christchurch but have been largely forgotten. "The lives of these early settlers to Christchurch make
fascinating reading," said Sasha Bowers, Promotions & Publications Co-ordinator for the library. "The book looks in remarkable detail at the part these people played in
shaping our city as we know it today."

The author, Richard Greenaway, considers the personalities portrayed in his book to be almost like "old friends". "The
decision to publish the book was a wonderful opportunity to build on my existing knowledge of these people," said
Richard Greenaway, Genealogy Librarian at Christchurch City Libraries. Rich man, poor man, environmentalist, thief is
the result of extensive research into land, police, school, bankruptcy, newspaper and local body records, which revealed
some extraordinary details about their lives.

Rich man, poor man, environmentalist, thief, priced at $10, is available from all Christchurch City council libraries
and service centres.
